president obama is right on the cusp. he's well below the job approval ratings of bill clinton and ronald reagan when they were reelected, but well above the approval ratings of bush 41 and jimmy carter when they lost. so, he's right on the cusp. another good number to look at is how satisfied people are in this countries, according to gallup. 68% are dissatisfied. that's down from 77%, but we've gone from absolutely terrible to just really, really bad. that is not something the president can count on. >> paul: now, still that gives an opening for mitt romney to be able to make up that 3 point average gap. what are the bright spots in the data for romney, saying, okay, how can i make up this lead? >> bright spots is that people are focused almost exclusively on the economy and who can get this economy going. we've seen how in the middle east our attention can be diverted temporarily, but people out there in real america are totally focused on who can get this economy going. they're scared, they're open to mitt romney. he
